"Yifeijun, are you trying to find sponsorship from China and then hold the Prost fleet?"

"If it were just because of the Ferrari engine, I believe you would discuss it with the boss and he would definitely consider and respect your opinions. After all, building a stronger JS series car and winning the championship for the team is our common dream."

"If you want to acquire Prost team shares, it is really difficult for you at this stage."

Junko Takeda persuaded him that Zhang Yifei's current identity is just an ordinary driver, and he has not yet left the rookie season.

Do whatever stage he wants. As a driver, Zhang Yifei now only considers how to create better results in the competition, racing development, and team operation, which is not suitable for his current identity.

Moreover, it is difficult for Zhang Yifei to control a F1-level fleet at this stage to be foolish. So Junko Takeda doesn't understand why Zhang Yifei did this.

Hearing Takeda Junko's words, Zhang Yifei understood her mentality very well. Indeed, her current actions can be described as crazy.

However, Zhang Yifei's mouth showed a faint smile, and then he said a meaningful sentence in a calm tone.

"When fate makes me stand at this point in time, I still have to do something for Chinese racing."

"Is that so? But is this time a little earlier?"

Junko Takeda actually did not understand the meaning behind Zhang Yifei's words. She just simply believed that Zhang Yifei wanted to build a Chinese F1 team.

"If it's too late, there's no chance."

Zhang Yifei knew that if there was no big change in this historical process, forty percent of the Prost team's shares would only be sold for tens of millions of US dollars.

You should know that the annual budget of an F1 fleet is at least about 100 million. For large fleets of Ferrari, hundreds of millions of budgets are easy.

Therefore, the team's early investment was huge. Now, you can buy forty percent of the shares of a F1 team with tens of millions of US dollars, and become the largest shareholder and complete the control of the team. This is definitely a bargain price!

Moreover, Zhang Yifei is a Prost driver. He clearly understands that he inherits the legacy of the Ligier team. Prost's foundation is actually not weak, and there is no problem with the current medium level in the F1 team.

If it really doesn't work, just use tens of millions of dollars to pack a top-level racing team, an F1-level racing R&D department, and a digital top aerodynamics expert. The price is not much lost.

After passing this village, there is no such store. A Prost team can advance the development of Chinese motorsports for twenty years, and may also indirectly promote the development of the automobile industry.

Since Zhang Yifei decided to let Uncle Lu lay the foundation for the primary equation in China, he doesn't want to miss the opportunity to control Formula One in advance. He also does not want to miss it. The foundation and the top level work together can create a team system for Chinese Formula racing faster.

And if you take a step back, even if nothing succeeds in the end, you will not lose the money. The dividends at the end of the F1 season, development of peripheral products, sponsorship and advertising revenue, etc., with such a large market in China, if you can't get the capital back tens of millions, you can only say that the team's operating level is terrible!

Hearing Zhang Yifei said so, Junko Takeda did not continue to persuade him.

Because Junko Takeda knows Zhang Yifei, although he is not old, he is definitely not a whimsical or unrealistic person. Since Zhang Yifei is so firm, there must be his reason.

From the time of Toyota Youth Training, Junko Takeda accompanied Zhang Yifei to overcome many difficulties. Even if it was an unrealistic dream, she would still stand behind Zhang Yifei this time, and this is the team!

After purchasing the afternoon flight ticket and packing their luggage, Zhang Yifei and Junko Takeda, who were escorted by several bodyguards, went to St. Paul International Airport and prepared to fly to Hong Kong Island.

In order to avoid unnecessary trouble, Zhang Yifei left this time very low-key. Even the bodyguards in suits changed into regular clothes and tried not to attract attention.

When he returned to Hong Kong Island, Zhang Yifei also learned from his last experience, including masks, baseball caps, sunglasses, etc. It is basically unlikely that he is Zhang Yifei from his facial features.

However, Zhang Yifei came back this time very suddenly. After being injured and hospitalized, the convoy refused interviews from various media in order to allow Zhang Yifei to recover from his injuries and did not report Zhang Yifei's itinerary. Therefore, domestic media and car fans did not know the news that Zhang Yifei returned to China, and no one was waiting in the airport. The scene of being surrounded was not staged before.

In the underground garage of Hong Kong Island International Airport, Luninping drove a station wagon and waited here early. He did this to avoid attracting attention, so he did not go to the exit passage to pick up the plane.

Because of the scene when Zhang Yifei surpassed Schumacher at the Brazilian Grand Prix, domestic media including Hong Kong Island were basically published on the front page, which caused a sensation across the country.

You should know that this is the first time that Chinese drivers surpassed the world's top opponent in the F1 race, and finally occupied the first position of the car, almost winning the championship.

There is no doubt that Zhang Yifei's performance in the Brazilian Grand Prix demonstrates his strength to win the championship on the F1 track. If nothing unexpected happens, China will have its own first Formula Champion driver in the near future!

Even this is not only the glory of the entire Chinese racing, but also the pinnacle of the entire Asian racing sport. From then on, the yellow race drivers will occupy a place for Formula One, which has been monopolized by white drivers!

So in China, Zhang Yifei's influence has broken through the racing circle and began to move towards the level of national idols. It can be said that the gap between him and Liu Xiang in 2008 is only one championship title left!

While waiting, Lu Ningping kept looking at the watch on his wrist. It was not that he couldn't hold back, but that behind Zhang Yifei's new record was the news of a car accident and injury.

For elders like Lu Ningping, even the champions in the sub-stations are not as good as Zhang Yifei's peaceful and peaceful. He wanted to know faster how Zhang Yifei's current injury is.

About ten minutes later, the elevator door opened and two men and women appeared. Zhang Yifei was holding a crutch while holding a cane, and his other hand was supported by Junko Takeda, and limped out of the elevator.

Even if Zhang Yifei is "fully armed", Lu Ningping can still easily recognize him at a glance. However, seeing Zhang Yifei's current appearance, Lu Ningping's eyes turned red in an instant.

The little guy who once firmly chose the road of racing, the boy who was always full of vitality and fighting spirit during the training, and the young driver who was indomitable in foreign battles, has now become the one who needs support even when walking.

When all the halos were faded, Zhang Yifei was just an 18-year-old young man. Behind all his achievements was his life-long efforts. It is precisely because Lu Ningping is the first pioneer of Chinese motorsports, he can better understand how difficult it is for Chinese drivers to go to the world.

Zhang Yifei has really done his best.

The moment the elevator door opened, Zhang Yifei actually saw Uncle Lu standing next to the car. He thought Lu Ningping would come over excitedly to give him a hug or something. But unexpectedly, Uncle Lu stood there, looking at him in a daze.

This situation surprised Zhang Yifei, so he had to walk over step by step. Under the dim lights of the underground garage, it shone in Lu Ningping's eyes, with a strange brilliance.

"Uncle Lu?"

When Zhang Yifei was about to come to Lu Ningping, he shouted softly.

Hearing this shout, Lu Ningping squeezed his eyes hard to cover up his wet eyes just now. He was also an elder and always had the image of a "tough driver". How could he be pretentious in front of his younger generation?

"I'm back, how about my leg injury?"

As Lu Ningping said, he walked to Zhang Yifei and helped him up with his other hand.

Looking at Lu Ningping's actions, Zhang Yifei replied with a relaxed look: "It's just a little bit of bone cracks, there's no big problem, don't worry."

In fact, Lu Ningping's early professional rally career was in countless cases. Indeed, for a professional driver, a fractured bone can only be regarded as a minor injury. He doesn't want Zhang Yifei to be injured in the future and scream like a sissy.

So even though I was still worried, I patted Zhang Yifei on the shoulder and said, "Adult is a man, and this injury is really nothing to professional drivers."

"Come on, prepare to get on the bus. I took the plane for about twenty hours and got home to rest first."

"Uncle Lu is going to tell you, I've been waiting for the meals made by my aunt. What I eat abroad is hard to describe!"

"Haha, your aunt has prepared a large table of food, but she is afraid that you can't eat it!"

After saying a few words, Zhang Yifei got on the station wagon and drove towards Uncle Lu's house.

"By the way, Uncle Lu, do you have any ideas and directions for sponsorship I talked to you on the phone before?"

Before coming to Hong Kong Island, when Zhang Yifei called Uncle Lu, he briefly told him his thoughts, hoping that he could contact some Hong Kong Island entrepreneurs to negotiate on holding the Prost fleet.

After all, tens of millions of dollars are not a small amount, especially in this era, it is even more difficult to invest in a relatively unfamiliar F1 fleet in China. Apart from state-owned enterprises, it is difficult to find companies with this intention and ambition in the mainland.

However, such huge investments as state-owned enterprises involve too many aspects and the approvals in all aspects are much complicated, so Hong Kong entrepreneurs are also Zhang Yifei's key cooperation direction.

After all, Hong Kong Island in this era is indeed ahead of the mainland in accepting some new things, and the possibility of investment is greater.
